J.R.R. Tolkien

In "The Hobbit," the phrase "guards your plunder" refers to the protection of treasure or valuables that have been acquired, often through conflict or adventure. In the context of the story, it emphasizes the need for vigilance and security over the riches gathered by the characters, particularly in the face of potential threats from others who may seek to claim the treasure for themselves. The phrase underscores themes of greed, loyalty, and the responsibility that comes with wealth.

In the "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" for PS2, the Pelennor Fields level involves guiding your characters through a large battlefield filled with orcs and other enemies. You can choose to play as either Aragorn, Legolas, or Gimli. Focus on using your character's unique abilities and combos to defeat foes while collecting power-ups and completing objectives. Be strategic with your attacks and utilize the environment to gain an advantage over the overwhelming enemy forces.

The One Ring is actually one of twenty rings of power that exist in Middle-earth, and its unique ability allows its bearer to control those who wear the other nineteen rings, making the story really about all twenty.

Also, at least twelve other rings of power make an appearance in the books. The three greatest rings (that were crafted solely by Celebrimbor without Sauron's influence) are worn by Gandalf, Galadriel, and Elrond during the events of the story. And the nine rings given to men also show up, as they turned their hosts into the Nazgûl, or the Ringwraiths, who serve Sauron.

"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,

Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,

Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,

One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."

Personally, after reading the Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings in high school, I read his biography -- "J.R.R. Tolkien: A Biography" by Humphrey Carpenter (guest-edited by Tolkien himself). This book is still in print and available from most large bookstores or in online bookstores (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.). You can request it by name or the ISBN number is: ISBN-13/EAN: 9780618057023; $14.00 or ISBN-10: 0618057021. A bookstore can look it up and order it from those. Also, you can do a Google search on J.R.R. Tolkien and find a ton of info on him. A great deal of information can be gleaned from reading the book The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien. They include correspondance from and to him mostly about the Middle Earth books, but include personal views and opinions.

There is no character or creature specifically referred to as a "monstrous Tolkien" in J.R.R. Tolkien's works. However, Tolkien did create many monstrous beings such as Orcs, Trolls, Balrogs, and Shelob in his writings. These creatures are often portrayed as dark and malevolent entities in his legendarium.

A hobbit is a fictional humanoid creature created by J.R.R. Tolkien in his novels "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings." Hobbits are known for their small size, hairy feet, love of peace and quiet, and enjoyment of good food and company.

"The Silmarillion" by J.R.R. Tolkien typically has around 365-400 pages, depending on the edition and formatting.

No. It is the reverse. The colors of the Istaris' clothes are indicative of the powers with which they have been vested. (The same idea is that the "warning sign" does not make a band-saw dangerous, but is an indication of the band-saw's inherent danger.)

White is indicative of purity and power, which is why the White Wizard (originally Saruman and later Gandalf) is the leader of the order and has access to the far more directed and offensive (military) powers. Grey is indicative of the wayfarer, which is why the Grey Wizard (originally Gandalf) is a person who moves from place to place without having a home or distinct purpose. Brown is indicative of the ground, which is why the Brown Wizard (Radagast) is connected to earth and nature as opposed to man. Blue represents the ocean and the sky which is why the two Blue Wizards (unnamed) are distant from society and have disappeared from society.

Saruman eventually calls himself the Wizard of Many Colours which is not actually a proper wizard color. However, it is indicative of his changed state. When pure white light is broken by a prism, it becomes many colors. Saruman's purity was similarly broken by his quest for power resulting in the numerous colors.

The Silmarils are recovered from Morgoth's crown by Beren and Lúthien and later by Eärendil. Each Silmaril eventually meets a separate fate - Eärendil wears one as a star on his brow, another is lost in the sea, and the last is carried to the Undying Lands.

The fantasy world created by J.R.R. Tolkien is called Middle-earth. It is the setting for many of his works, including "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit."

Tolkien postpones Smaug's death in "The Hobbit" to build suspense and tension in the story. By prolonging the dragon's presence, Tolkien creates a sense of danger and highlights the heroic actions of Bilbo and the other characters in their efforts to defeat Smaug. This delay also adds complexity to the narrative and allows for further development of the plot.
